Week+3


 * Lab Exercise #1**

//Now that you have completed the tasks assigned during weeks one and two of this course, you should be aware of the safety rules and procedures that are appropriate for your high school students to know and follow. The next step is to introduce your students to the apparatus commonly used in the chemistry laboratory. Students should be able to identify common pieces of apparatus and be able to use them properly. For example, using a graduated cylinder to accurately measure volume is a skill required by most laboratory experiments.//

**MISSION** : As a team, design a series of laboratory activities that foster your students’ development of the skills necessary to properly use the apparatus required by first-year chemistry investigations.

**MISSION OBJECTIVES:** The team must ...  (1) identify the apparatus most commonly used in first-year chemistry experiments.  (2) discuss the safety rules associated with the use of such apparatus.  (3) design meaningful or purposeful lab activities that use the apparatus.  (4) cohesively fit together all lab activities to serve a common goal or describe a common topic.

**Use the course wiki to collaborate on this mission. You may use the discussion board to share ideas and the edit feature of the “Lab Exercise 1” wiki page to create and post the finished document. DUE Monday, September 20.**
